'I'm Missing News' by Katy Katopodis - Book Review

Wed, 01/05/2013 - 12:14 — Sarah Fenwick

katy katopedis book reviewGreek South African Katy Katopodis has written a riveting book about being the high-powered editor-in-chief at Eyewitness News in Johannesburg, as well as being the mother of two sons and the wife of one Kosta Kosmas - who must know he is a very lucky man to spend his life with such an incredible woman.

Katy doesn't claim to have it all, expressing deep-down doubts about leaving her young sons to go back to work after maternity leave. On the other hand, she uses the parenting skills she learned to be an inspiring and supportive boss and is refreshingly frank about being bossy and making her team of local and international of journalists perform to her high standards - standards she truly believes they can reach.

Wil  - who lives in the Limassol district - has always been about helping people to find strength from inside themselves, and taking strength from the wider universe in all its abundance.
